Automated Description
Enables microtubule binding activity; microtubule motor activity; and tropomyosin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; neuron differentiation; and oocyte axis specification. Located in actin cap; axon cytoplasm; and microtubule plus-end. Part of kinesin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult heart; germline cell; glial cell; head; and photoreceptor neurons. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia; motor neuron disease; neurodegenerative disease; and spinal muscular atrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 25; autoimmune disease (multiple); complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 2; hereditary spastic paraplegia 10; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including KIF5B (kinesin family member 5B).
FB Description
Kinesin heavy chain (Khc) encodes the force generating subunit of kinesin-1, a microtubule motor protein. It functions in the long-distance transport of cytoplasmic "cargoes" such as mRNAs, protein complexes, and organelles.
